SERVICE
REEL-BELT AND DRIVE-BELT REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
Reel belts are serviced in matched sets
of three belts. When replacement is required,
always replace all three belts. It is a good idea to
replace all belts (drive and reel) on the unit at the
same time.
1. Remove the belt guards and the hopper drive
belt.
2. Tilt the unit forward and support the rear of the
chassis with jack stands.
Use adequate jack stands when supporting
the unit. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury.
3. Remove the lower belt guard from under the
chassis and take out the reel. Remove the jack
stands and lower the unit.
4. Loosen the set screw in the locking collar K on
the drive shaft. Insert a punch in the small hole in
the collar and use hammer to tap the collar
clockwise (opposite direction of engine rotation)
until it's loose (approx. 1/4 turn). Remove the
collar.
5. Remove the bolts H securing the mounting plate
L. Remove plate and the pillow block J (leave
the pillow block attached to the mounting plate).
6. Remove all three reel belts.
NOTE:
Inspect the drive belt to the transmission
after the reel belts have been removed.
Replacing the drive belt now will save work and
down time at a later date.
7. Install new belts (matched set of three).
8. Before reinstalling the mounting plate L, loosen
but do not remove the pillow block J.
9. Slide the pillow block bearing onto the shaft and
loosely mount the plate to the chassis. Adjust the
mounting plate L side-to-side so that there is no
side load on the drive shaft. Tighten the
mounting plate hardware H.
